Letter from the Field: Scott from Seattle Writes In

I woke up to find this email in my inbox this morning. I wrote the author, and Scott has given me permission to print it. Just below his email, you’ll find the comment Scott refers to below, which I’m also reprinting. I was just on the radio with Jerry Katz and Gary Falk, and Gary, also a successful Living Method of Awakening client, summed up his experience with these words: “The Living Method delivers.” Thanks to Scott, Jerry and Gary for your help in promoting global clarity.

One more note. The seeker lifestyle that Scott mentions is one of the biggest and most common traps out there. I deal with it regularly. Take a look and see if you’re clinging to that. The chief problem is, once you become a finder, you no longer fit it the seeking circle. However, just as soon as you bypass your awakening in favor of another spiritual experience, you’ll once again fit right in. Are you looking for comfort, or freedom?

Hi Fred –

It’s Scott from Seattle, grew up in Palo Alto.  We had a session on October 18^th and I just wanted to thank you again.  I went to the retreat in California that I mentioned but I left early.  It felt wrong, off, something wasn’t right.  I found myself surrounded by long-time “spiritual folk” hoping to awaken the goddess within – in other words, perpetual seekers.  I have no interest in seeking as a lifestyle; my interest lies in seeking in order to end seeking.  

Our session still resonates with me.  Specifically the parts where you broke down the body to locate self and, wonder of wonders, it wasn’t there.  And getting up into space and disappearing to realize the constant awareness that we’re all ALL that is.  My small mind is still fighting for survival but its grip is loosening, due in no small part to your work.  Yesterday I had the thought that merely to think “I am not Awake” is a fallacy on its face.  That which can declare such a statement must come from the small mind, that which is not our true self, ergo, the statement must be false!  I’m pretty sure you said as much during the session which leads me to believe the seeds are sprouting.  

I’ve been watching your videos as prescribed and I’m enjoying them very much.  Your down-to-earth approach is a breath of fresh air in a non-duality world that overflows with ambiguity.  In my estimation, this isn’t spiritual work, it’s reality work.  Your common sense ability to dispel the “mystery” of true self is very refreshing.  I put a comment on the testimonials page that I hope captures the essence of what I’m saying here.

Thanks again –

~Scott from Seattle, WA

   Trying to get one’s head around non-duality or awakening can be a mind numbingly difficult task; after all, we are dealing with that which lies beyond our every day experience and, therefore, that which we can readily understand through language. Fred’s gift lies in his ability to hold your hand and take you step by step, specifically and unambiguously, into that which you are not as well as that which you are. Anyone can say “you are not your body and mind” or “you are the ocean from which the wave of your being arises” but Fred doesn’t take refuge in metaphors or concepts. Now, my mind is stubborn and often dictatorial but Fred, in his wisdom, put a check mate on my mind. Even as my mind rose up and said “Yeah, but…”, Fred was patient and clear, showing me (not telling me) the ground of my being and, simultaneously, the ground of all being.Whether your practice involves meditation, contemplation, inquiry, reading or whatever else helps along your path, Fred can only deepen the awareness. Unlike some non-duality figures these days, he reaches across the divide to meet you where you are instead of filling you with platitudes you’ll forget by the next cup of coffee. He is grounded, pragmatic, and understands that the ability to know our true self is as applicable and available to the monk in a cave as much as it is for the office building janitor. Before you go to India or drop thousands on an extended retreat, give Fred a try. I may be a seeker but I have no desire to remain one indefinitely. Fred’s sessions were a huge step to knowing, to the end of seeking, to residing in the place where questions no longer take hold. And there’s a good chance he’ll make you laugh along the way.
